A photo booth at your wedding isn't just a fun activity — it's a memory-making machine. When done right, it becomes one of the highlights guests talk about for years. Here's everything you need to know to plan a flawless wedding photo booth experience.
Choosing the Right Location
Placement is everything. You want your photo booth visible enough to draw guests in, but not so central that it disrupts the flow of the reception. Near the cocktail hour or at the entrance to the dance floor tends to work beautifully.
The best photo booth placement puts it where the energy already is — close enough to the party that guests stumble in naturally, far enough away for a moment of fun without disruption.
Selecting Your Backdrop
Your backdrop sets the tone for every single photo taken. For weddings, we recommend our Timeless Ivory Garden or White Marble backdrops — both photograph beautifully and complement virtually any wedding color palette.
If you're going for something bold and memorable, our Champagne Sequin Wall adds a glamorous shimmer that photographs like a dream in both daytime and evening lighting.
Props vs. No Props
This is a personal choice, but here's our honest take: high-quality, on-brand props add energy and give guests something to do with their hands. Avoid cheap, generic prop boxes. Instead, opt for curated items that match your wedding aesthetic — think elegant frames, greenery crowns, or custom signs with your names and date.
Timing Your Booth Rental
Most couples book their booth for the cocktail hour through the end of the reception. This gives guests a natural activity during those early gathering moments and ensures it's available for the peak party energy later in the night.
Consider a 4-6 hour window depending on your event length. Our drop-off model means setup is handled before your guests arrive, so there's nothing to worry about on the big day.
Sharing the Magic
Every That Booth rental includes our online mobile gallery, so guests can access and download their photos the same night. We recommend sharing the gallery link on your wedding website or having your DJ announce it — you'll be amazed how many photos get taken when guests know they can instantly share them.
